Abundance, or what you deny yourself
What it often means
Pigs in dreams are rarely as unflattering as their reputation. More often they represent sensory abundance — pleasure, appetite, and the parts of life you have been denying yourself in the name of discipline. Occasionally they signal excess or something unexamined.
When it tends to appear
- When self-deprivation has gone too far
- When you are not allowing yourself to enjoy what you have earned
- When something in your life needs to be confronted, not avoided
Sit with these questions
- 1
What pleasure have you been talking yourself out of?
- 2
Where is abundance available to you that you are refusing?
- 3
What are you calling "too much" that might actually be "enough"?
